Every Thanksgiving the NFB Board
Of Directors gathers at the National Center for the Blind for its annual two-day
meeting. Everyone brings a favorite dish to share, and all hands rally 'round
to help prepare a meal worthy of the holiday. President Maurer's main contribution
to this effort is superintending the large smoker in the central courtyard.
For Thanksgiving he usually smokes a turkey, a capon or two, two rolled pork
roasts, and some beef. This year he will build his fire with hickory and a little
fruit wood (apple, pear, or peach) if he can get it. The results are delicious
- juicy, flavorful, and reminiscent of hazy Autumn days.
